A group of more than 200 patients in severe pain after bowel mesh surgery have said there is no sign yet of treatment to alleviate their suffering.

This is despite an NHS recommendation in 2020 that specialist centres should be set up for all mesh patients.

Most of the patients were treated, using mesh to fix prolapsed bowels, by Tony Dixon, who was later dismissed by Bristol’s Southmead Hospital in 2019.

It is so important that these patients get the treatment they need, so they are not left in severe pain.
